To get ArgoUML from CVS, set your CVSROOT environment variable like this:

CVSROOT=:pserver:username@cvs.tigris.org:/cvs

If you have been given write access to the CVS repository, then replace 'username' with your own login name. Otherwise, use the username 'guest' (password is 'guest') to get read access to the CVS repository. Then log in to CVS with your password:

cvs login

And check out the ArgoUML source code:

cvs checkout -r argo-nsuml argouml/src

This distribution uses Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) for its build system. Ant is a cross-platform build tool based on Java and XML, similar to 'make'. Read the build.xml file in the src-directory for details on how to build ArgoUML with Ant.
